I'm allergic to celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. It still turned out great.

This recipe is a little bit spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of cayenne pepper.

I like my dumplings a little bit thicker, so I added a little more flour to the dough.

I'm not a fan of white pepper, so I used black pepper instead. It turned out just as good.
